| - First time here, tasty prime rib!
They served salad first, which was pretty bomb.
Then the carver came around with his cart, and asked what kinda cut (depends how many ounces you want) and how you wanted it cooked.
Some might think that it's pretty cool that you can see your own meat being cut.
But for me, personally, I'd much rather not see my meat being cut in front of me. I'd rather see it brought out on a plate from the kitchen, and I'd like to be made to think that my piece of meat was thrown in to be cooked after my order was set in place. Maybe it's because the first thought that crossed my mind were the old days when I went to Hometown Buffet or something, where they sliced the roast beef/turkey for you. I don't know. The whole idea of having the carver going around with his cart full of meat cutting it for people kinda cheapened the experience for me. Call me snobby.
I got the Lawry cut at medium rare with corn and mashed potatoes&gravy.
As soon as I took my first bite, my petty grievances went out the window. At steak houses I normally don't opt for the prime rib. But they do it right here; it's their thing!
I felt that our server wasn't too friendly at all. There was also a little mix up among the servers. Supposedly they wait til everyone finishes their salad before bringing the meat carver around. We wanted to keep our salads to eat with our steak and we told a server that 2 different times, but I guess that memo didn't get to our main server, so we kinda had to wait a little longer for the meat to come around to us. No biggy.
They also sang happy bday for me & provided a free cake which was yummy.
I'd love to come back here, but probably the one closer to home for me in LA.
